Ingredients

  • 12-16 oz Fresh Cranberries
  • 1 tbsp Orange Zest
  • cup Erythritol
  • ¼ cup Water

Instructions

  • Add fresh cranberries to the instant pot along with the orange zest.
  • Pour in ¼ cup of water.
  • Set the instant pot to manual HIGH pressure for 3 minutes and seal.
  • Once finished cooking, let instant pot natural release for 10 minutes before removing the lid.
  • Using a spoon, mash up the cranberries until they form a sauce.
  • Stir in the sweetener until fully combined.

Notes

Using Frozen Cranberries:

If you can’t find fresh cranberries, you could also use frozen ones. Simply add 2 more minutes to the pressure cook time making it a total of 5 minutes. This will make it take longer to come to pressure as the cranberries will have to be thawed in the instant pot.

Paleo Cranberry Sauce

To make this recipe paleo, replace the sweetener with ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup.

Whole30 Cranberry Sauce 

To make this recipe Whole30 compliant, replace the sweetener with ⅓ cup of unsweetened apple juice or apple cider. You could also use the juice of your orange instead.
